"So, 7:00 Saturday is good for you?" Calvin asked smiling.

"Yeah." Rory said, blushing.

"Great, I'll pick you up at 7:00 then." Calvin stood up and started to walk away from Rory then he stopped and turned back "Oh, one more thing... How about you give me your phone number?" Calvin asked hopefully.

"Sure." Rory wrote it down on a piece of paper and handed it to him, her hand shaking somewhat.

"Thanks." Calvin smirked. "I'll call you later."

Jessica came walking over as Calvin left..

"Well?" Jessica asked excitedly.

"We're going to a movie Saturday at 7:00." Rory smiled.

"And what was on the paper you handed him?" Jessica asked her eyes lighting up.

"My phone number." Rory replied shyly.

Jessica laughed. "See! I told you!"

"Hey, you found it." Luke said looking at Colleen steadily.

"Well, it's the only café in town." Colleen replied.

"Right." Luke conquered. "So, let's go in."

The two walked into the café and sat at a small table.

"So, you're a big fan of coffee?" Luke asked.

"Not really." Colleen replied. "I'd rather have a cappuccino."

"Oh." Luke said letting his eyes wonder around the room. "You like very nice." he finally managed to say.

"Thank you." Colleen smiled. "So do you."

"Thanks."

The two sat there in awkward silence for a few minutes, not really saying anything but small talk. Luke was beginning to think this was all such a bad idea. He was about to just back out of the whole thing when Colleen finally broke the ice.

"You're not comfortable here." Colleen said softly.

"What?... No I'm fine... I'm just..."

"Let's go somewhere you're comfortable." Colleen suggested.

"Really, I'm okay." Luke replied.

"Where would you be the most comfortable?" Colleen asked. "The park? I can tell you're an out doors type of person. Or maybe you'd rather go over to the pond."

Wow. Colleen knew what kind of stuff Luke liked and they barely even knew each other. Luke had to admit he was impressed.

"The pond would be nice." Luke finally admitted.

"Well then, let's go. It's only about 20 minutes from here." Colleen smiled and stood up from the table. Luke followed.

"Hey hun." Lorelai greeted as Rory walked through the door.

"Hey." Rory replied smiling.

"Guess what." Lorelai teased.

"What?"

"Something great is about to happen."

"Really?" Wow, Rory's day was going awesome.

"Yeah, I found out there is going to be an oldies movie marathon Saturday night and I bought tons and tons of popcorn, and soda." Rory's smile faded. "And... I found this!" Lorelai pulled out their movie blanket.

"I thought we lost that in the move." Rory said confused.

"I did too. But I found it today, just in time for the movie marathon." Lorelai smiled.

Rory's day now, not so awesome...

"What's wrong?" Lorelai asked, noticing she was more excited than Rory was.

"Nothing." Rory replied.

"Come on kid. I know you better than that."

"Well... I kind of had plans for Saturday." Rory began. Lorelai squinted her eyes not sure she had heard her daughter correctly. "I was going to go watch a movie with a friend."

A friend. Lorelai thought, must be Jessica, Jessica was Rory's only friend. "Well, why don't you just invite Jess over and we'll all watch the movie marathon. It'll be cheaper than the theaters."

Rory looked down.

"It's not Jess?" Lorelai asked.

Rory shook her head no.

"Is it a girl?" Lorelai continued.

Rory didn't answer.

Lorelai smiled. "Rory... did a boy ask you out?"

Rory smiled lightly, not trying too look to happy about it. "Yeah... But I'll cancel ... I mean I'd rather watch movies with you."

"No no." Lorelai defended. "Rory, this is big. A guy asked you out. Don't let a petty little thing like a movie marathon keep you from going. Besides, we can always watch it when you get home."

"Yeah. We can." Rory agreed, her hopes rising again.

"Wow... my little girl is going on her first date." Lorelai smiled. "I guess you're not really a little girl anymore, though."

Rory smiled. "I may not be a little girl, but I'll always be yours." she leaned in and hugged Lorelai.
